Maclean's University Rankings Place UNBC 1st Among Primarily Undergraduate Schools

Go north, young ones, if you want an education at Canada's best "primarily undergraduate" university.

Maclean's magazine has ranked the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) at number one out of 19 schools of its kind.

It's the first time in UNBC history that the school has achieved the top rank. And school president Dr. Daniel Weeks is ecstatic.

"It only confirms what most of the folks here in Prince George and in fact across the north already know," he told CBC News. "We're a great university with great programs, offering great opportunities for our young people in the north."
